Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 168 Three years to observe a father's respect for his son, three years to observe a son

Zhang Changyao didn't want to greet his two fathers, so he reined in the donkey, pretended to be riding the bun crookedly, and straightened it a few times.

"Changyao, you're back? I told your dad to let your father-in-law stay at our house, but he just wouldn't agree."

He insists on coming back to your house to stay and see his grandson; the bond between grandparents and grandchildren is truly amazing!

Zhao Xiulan saw Zhang Changyao in the distance, swaying his two slouching legs, and came over to him to make small talk.

"Aunt Xiulan, my house has kang beds in both the east and west rooms, so there is a place to live."

"Dad, let's go! I reckon it'll be time for dinner soon?"

Zhang Changyao harbored resentment towards Zhang Kaiju, and deliberately called Yang Deming "father" very loudly.

"Young man, does your back still hurt? Why am I being so stubborn?"

The pain is on your body, but it hurts your father's heart even more.

If your father-in-law hadn't just told me that I beat you so badly you vomited blood.

I went to the health center and almost lost my life, and I didn't even know it!

"Dad will buy you some good food and bring it over later to help you recover."

Zhang Kaiju pretended to touch Zhang Changyao's back, causing Zhang Changyao to dodge in pain.

"Changyao, your father-in-law just finished eating at my house."

The old hen your father-in-law brought over, I didn't put anything in it, just dry, tough chicken stew.

Zhao Xiulan looked at Yang Deming with adoration and shyness.

"Aunt Xiulan, you guys chat for a bit, I have things to do when I get home."

Zhang Changyao realized something was wrong, so he quickly drove his donkey cart away from the troublesome place.

"Uncle, my dad went to the east courtyard and brought me a big hen. What does that mean?"

The first thing Zhang Changyao did upon entering the room was to ask Yang Deshan.

"Hmph, hmph! It's meaningless. Didn't you say your dad didn't want to live anymore?"

I guess they're afraid your dad won't hang himself, so they're adding fuel to the fire.

Yang Deshan teased Zhang Changyao with a cold smile, which made Yang Wuni and Liao Zhi, who were inside the room, unable to help but laugh.

"Uncle, that won't do. Please help me persuade my dad not to offend my living father, okay?"

If I were to anger him to death, wouldn't my son be the subject of gossip and ridicule?

Zhang Changyao was so anxious that he followed Yang Deshan back and forth.

"Zhang Changyao, if your spine isn't broken by being poked, it'll be broken by your father."

"It's going to be tough from both sides, why are you worrying so much? Just hang in there." Liao Zhi blurted out.

"Liao Zhi, don't talk nonsense. Zhang Changyao's father raised him, how could he watch his father be forced to his death?"

Uncle, you still have to help Zhang Changyao and keep an eye on my unreliable father.

I know he listens to you, otherwise he would have kicked me to death long ago.

Just as Yang Wuni finished speaking, Yang Deming entered the room humming "Wang Erjie Misses Her Husband".

"Yang Deming, I think you're getting more and more boastful as you get older. You have a hen but you won't feed it to your own daughter, so you feed it to others."

Isn't it enough that Wang Fengxian's shamanistic rituals are enough to support you? Why do you need to seduce your in-laws' woman?

If you manage to seduce your future mother-in-law, how will you support her?

You think everyone else is like Wang Fengxian, just because you know a few deceptive martial arts moves?

When Yang Deshan saw Yang Deming humming a tune while doing a back flip, he gave him a severe scolding.

"Yang Deshan, don't meddle in my business. Do you even know what I'm going to do? You're just lecturing me."

Yang Deming casually sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) and teased Xiao Wenda with "sucking, sucking, sucking".

"Dad, don't even think about Zhao Xiulan. My dad really likes her."

If you make Zhao Xiulan leave him, he might really hang himself.

Zhang Changyao, holding a tobacco basket, approached Yang Deming.

I rolled up a toad head on a stick, lit it, and handed it to him.

"Son-in-law, your father is too cruel to you. He doesn't care whether you live or die."

Just like me back then, a complete jerk, not treating his own child like a child.

Now I understand life. A father like you will never have a peaceful life with Wu Ni until he dies.

I don't want him to die, I just want him to know that woman doesn't care about him at all.

As long as he doesn't listen to that woman's pillow talk, he won't cause trouble for you and Wu Ni.

Tang Deming took the cigarette and puffed twice, making the flame, which was about to go out, glow brightly again.

"Dad, I beg you, please don't go to my dad's house anymore, okay?"

How he treats me is his business; at worst, we'll just cut ties with him.

I'm his son, I can't just stand by and watch you dig a hole for him and pretend I didn't see it!

Thirty years of observation show how a father respects his son. My father was incompetent, and I know in my heart how much suffering I endured.

If it weren't for my aunt's family protecting me, I wouldn't even be as good as a puppy.

Looking back thirty years from now, I realize I haven't been able to uphold the filial piety of my father.

I have no right to say my father is incompetent; I am just like him, and I have not become his pride.

I didn't let my dad be looked up to by others because of my growing up.

Father, I'll kneel down for you, please let him go and let him live happily every day.

This can be considered my, the incompetent son, fulfilling my final filial duty to him.

Zhang Changyao knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Yang Deming.

"Old son-in-law, you're right. Father won't go. Father will go home tomorrow."

You're not being a coward, you're being kind and righteous. Wu Ni can't stand being mistreated by you.

Yang Deming was swayed by Zhang Changyao's words and gave up his idea of ​​taking revenge on Zhang Kaiju.

"Second Uncle, this isn't right! Zhang Changyao is your son-in-law."

No matter how much you bully someone, you can't make them kneel down before you.

Wu Ni suffered a lot when she was young, so you can't kick her out of the house and bully her while she's in confinement after giving birth.

Don't think that just because you're a bit capable, I can't beat you, but I'm not afraid of you.

"If you dare lay a finger on Wu Ni today, I'll fight you to the death."

Du Qiu, who had just returned from Wang Ga's house, saw Zhang Changyao kneeling in front of Yang Deming.

He immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to compete with Yang Deming.

"Brother Du Qiu, it's not what you think. It's Zhang Changyao pleading for his father."

Don't tell my dad you've forgotten how you stood up for me that year.

My dad kicked me against the barn wall, and it took me ages to catch my breath.

Yang Wuni quickly explained, afraid of causing a misunderstanding and hurting Du Qiu.

"Hmph! Wu Ni, I'm not the Du Qiu I used to be, small and weak."

Look at my legs and arms, he won't be able to kick me up again.

Du Qiu must have been drinking, because he rolled up his trouser legs and placed them on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) for Yang Wuni to see.

"Little rascal, even if you're as big as a water vat, I'll still kick you until you're crawling on the ground looking for your teeth."

Yang Deming was very competitive and was unwilling to lose face in front of these younger people.

"Hmph! Old Yang, I'm holding onto your leg and won't let go. I don't believe you can kick me!"

Fueled by alcohol, Du Qiu tried to hug Yang Deming's leg.

Startled, Zhang Changyao quickly pushed him into the east room and stuffed him into Yang Deshan's mattress.

"Wu Ni's father, our family is your in-law's family, and they asked me to come to you."

He said he didn't drink enough with you tonight, and he wants to heat up some chicken so we can have some more.
